  Else \Else\, a. & pron. [OE. & AS. elles otherwise, gen. sing.
     of an adj. signifying other; akin to OHG. elles otherwise,
     OSw. [aum]ljes, Sw. eljest, Goth. aljis, adj., other, L.
     alius, Gr. ?. Cf. {Alias}, {Alien}.]
     Other; one or something beside; as, Who else is coming? What
     else shall I give? Do you expect anything else? "Bastards and


     else." --Shak.
     [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: This word always follows its noun. It is usual to give
           the possessive form to else rather than to the
           substantive; as, somebody else's; no one else's. "A boy
           who is fond of somebody else's pencil case." --G.
           Eliot. "A suit of clothes like everybody else's."
           --Thackeray.
           [1913 Webster]

     1. Besides; except that mentioned; in addition; as, nowhere

     2. Otherwise; in the other, or the contrary, case; if the
        facts were different.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give
              it.                                   --Ps. li. 16.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: After `or', else is sometimes used expletively, as
           simply noting an alternative. "Will you give thanks, .
           . . or else shall I?" --Shak.
           [1913 Webster]
